My vote goes to Shadow Grey, exclusive to the 4.2L 2009 XKR Portfolio models. It changes with the sunlight.
Tastefully paired with Ivory and Slate interior. Old school traditional British luxury, real wood veneer and genuine leather almost everywhere.
No tinfoil or carbon fiber for me. Just my old guy taste, others will disagree. That's why JLR offers other choices, including Spun Aluminium and CF.

While we're on the subject of color, I could use your help. When I bought the car a couple of months ago, I was really annoyed by the front bumper color. It didn't match the rest of the car, especially the hood.
I've repainted the bumper twice (two different body shops) since then, but I'm still not happy with the result.
Looking at the color code, my car should be in liquid silver. Both times the color for bumper was mixed on spot because apparently the hood is not in its original color.
This is how it looks most of the time:
But sometimes it would look good:
Also, I've noticed from looking at many XK pictures online that there's often a color mismatch between the bumper and the hood, even in some official Jaguar release photos. Not sure why?
How would you resolve this issue? Is the whole car respray my only option to make it right?

A better color match needs to be made when mixing the paint. Blending the new paint into the hood and f fenders might be needed. But...the color match can be made much better.

Find a proper paint shop. A proper shop would have matched the color correctly including consideration for fade and weathering.
